Postfix needs an explicit mydestination setting, because the core
of Postfix is not DNS (or SMTP) centric.
Only the Postfix SMTP client and SMTP server know about DNS and
SMTP. Most of Postfix does not talk to the network, and therefore
most of Postfix is shielded from direct attacks from the network.
